Errata
I appreciate good design, and enjoy being part of a team working on something worthwhile.
I’m smart, collaborative, pragmatic, and have a strong track record as a remote developer.
My standards are high — pixel-perfect code, reusable component design, UX feedback, API architecture, and English.
I have a unique sense of humor and love my work.
